DAILY MEDITATIONS ON THE PSALMS

Name:

Each morning I spend 30 minutes, more or less, researching and writing on a passage of scripture. This is principally a form of spiritual self-discipline. But comments and questions are welcome.

Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you..." You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures evermore. (Psalm 16: 1,2, and 11)

God is the ultimately real. Apart from God I am separated from reality. A life of illusion, of shadows, of smoke, and mirrors - despite its funhouse aspect - soon becomes unsatisfactory, disorienting, and even dangerous.

The very heart of reality - the essential nature of God - is creativity. Creating with God is about planting the smallest of seeds and being surprised by a blossoming of color, strength, and bounty beyond imagination.

Embraced by and embracing reality we are safe. Co-creating with the real we can be fully and finally ourselves.
